Colchester – Fatal Injuries After Car Crash

A fatal car crash took place in Colchester last Sunday afternoon.

According to police investigators, 82-year-old Joan Jansson was driving south when her vehicle suddenly swerved, crossed the median and drove off the left side of the road, hitting a tree at the Stanavage Road junction. Jansson sustained fatal injuries in the crash. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the incident.
